Really? In mom's basement?

Noooo, not the "mom's basement" comeback! You're definitely a master troller...

Wilder doesn't speak about the elephant in the room -- all of the brutal knockouts he has suffered against Fury and Zhilei Zhang.and the punishment his brain has taken as a result. I mean he made an allegation that Fury literally put a dent in his skull and posted a photo of the dent. Fury walked to him and beat him half to death in their 2nd fight, and folded him like fresh laundry in their 3rd fight after battering him over 11 rounds of pure hell. Then Zhang just about knocked his brains out of his head . Now he's back facing a guy who has 30 fights and not a recognizable name on his resume in sight, except who he lost to. He was KO'd by Ajagba in Efe's pro debut back in 2017 in one round. In 2019 he lost to Brandon Glanton on a.DQ. And Ricardo Torrez smoked him in 2 rounds in 2023. This guy won't do much except lay down quick and give Wilder some false confidence that he's back. Then some real beat downs are waiting for him no matter which way he goes next. And some more brain cells will be knocked out of his stubborn arrogant head once again

It was a mandatory defence, so he had no option in that respect.

What puzzled me was why the WBC ordered him to fight Povetkin in the first place, when they were clearly in Haymon/PBC's pocket at that time. Maybe, for legal reasons, they were compelled to?

Correct. Wilder's mandatories weren't so much fighters that he had no option to fight, they were fighters that his team accepted.

Like I said, I don't know why that fight was ever happening. It was so far from anything else he did. Which makes it very su****ious that the fight didn't go ahead through, apparently, no fault of his own.

This is pure propaganda to sell a fraud. Wilder never had any confidence, if he did he would have fought AJ, Povetkin, Whyte, Chisora, Usyk, W Klitschko.

The article is propaganda shill to sell Wilder for one last go round. Herndon is just another hired patsy who will do what everyone knows he's going to do. Set up Wilder for the next set up.

You can't beat everyone. None of those guys did either, right?

Povetkin and Klitschko were from the prior era, and neither had great chins, which is what saved Fury. Maybe Tyson, Lewis, Holmes and Holyfield would work for you too?

Whyte and Chisora were tough contenders, but no better than a number of Bomb Squad victims.
Just the way it is, Son.

And A.J.????? All he had to do was stay upright against Andy Ruiz, and he might've landed Wilder.
Then maybe, a shot at Fury's title?
His losses boxed him out of the fights with the era's two other long-term title holders.
Thats the facts.

You know that in Boxing, a set up is a felony, right?

Have you thought about night classes at your community center? Finish high school first, then go to college (some are desperate for money). Take up literature and history. Maybe a bit of theatre would also help, for the attitude part. I would also suggest all the Monty Python movies, and any other dark British humour you can get your hands on. AND, most importantly - I could never stress this enough - NEVER EVER assume you are smarter than anyone else. It's just not for you.

What and idiot Povetkin was. I strongly believed he would have beaten Wilder in Moscow.

Good advice.
